Down in the metro station after midnight
The STM invited the media to see how much work is done in the metro overnight. Radio-Canada writes about why the metro can’t stay open all night with rare exceptions; La Presse gives a glimpse of the work done in the brief window before the service reopens at 5:30. This is evidently being done in response to city hall opposition demanding more overnight services, but the STM is laying out reasons it thinks this is a bad idea. Right now there are 130 distinct sites where work is being done in the metro, much of it only possible when the current is turned off overnight. Almost all our media have different stories and photos Friday morning.

I understand the STM needs to close for several hours during the night for work and maintenance. But are they also as many workers beetwen saturday night and sunday morning ?

Steve: yes, if they need the work done, the workers will be there.
